The result is that measurements intended to be on the part are showing up out in space. The solution that we have found is as follows: 1) Open CheckMate for SOLIDWORKS® but do NOT open any part files. 2) Got to and Select the heading on the left side called "Performance" 3) At the bottom of that page, uncheck the entry called "Enhanced Graphics Performance". 4) Quit out and restart CheckMate for SOLIDWORKS® See image below ![Recommended SOLIDWORKS Performance Settings-rev](https://info.originintl.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Recommended%20SOLIDWORKS%20Performance%20Settings-rev.png?width=925&name=Recommended%20SOLIDWORKS%20Performance%20Settings-rev.png)   Topics: [SolidWorks](https://info.originintl.com/resources/tech-tips-blog/topic/solidworks), [measurement](https://info.originintl.com/resources/tech-tips-blog/topic/measurement), [metrology](https://info.originintl.com/resources/tech-tips-blog/topic/metrology), [CheckMate for SOLIDWORKS](https://info.originintl.com/resources/tech-tips-blog/topic/checkmate-for-solidworks) ## **CheckMate for SOLIDWORKS** ### Help Videos ![CMhelpVidsIcon](https://info.originintl.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CMhelpVidsIcon.jpg?width=78&height=101&name=CMhelpVidsIcon.jpg)This Icon is installed on the Desktop and the Start menu when CheckMate for SOLIDWORKS is installed. It is an index to all the videos which also includes the Tech Tips.
